How We Do It
Since potatoes need to be hilled as they grow, we had to prep the beds a little differently...
First we had to dig a deep & wide trench down the middle of our beds.
Then we added a little of our compost on the bottom of the trench.
Next we layed the potatoes in the trench and covered them with a little compost and some of the soil we dug out.
Then we waited...
& watered...
& as they started growing we covered them again with soil and compost.
& finally - potatoes :)
